Can't do it like that lol.

On a typical 4 point scale a 3.0 gpa is the cutoff for distinction average so the Usyd equivalent (afaik) would probably be 6.0

I thought US used A, B, C, D, E, F not HD, D, C, P. maybe that's schools though, I'm not sure.

The uni's use A, B, C etc as well in the US.

Ugh my brain is too dead for this. I did some degree planning - if I want to do a forensic osteology subject I won't graduate until 2016. LAME-O. But I want to do my masters in Osteoarchaeology so it's like a try before you buy deal. Also, what's the USyd equivalent to a US 3.0 GPA?

hahahahha you're really taking this 'female indy' thing seriously aren't you

Yeah i think they do, which makes the conversion more tedious.

Weighing out the benefits of taking a two day break. Don't know if it's a good idea with so many assessments on the horizon.

Yeah I think I am, everyone was like you'll never have to work as hard as you are doing in the HSC ever again
nek minnit just as much work at uni if not more

I think it was just really unexpected

I always thought HSC wasn't difficult at all - at least, the content wasn't difficult. I knew uni was gonna be a lot tougher than HSC - hopefully I'm enough to get a pass or credit.

Honestly, I just wanted to know if it was just me or if most people were feeling like there is just too much work and that they're sorta trying to keep their head above the water.
